Protected from evil

Psalm 91:9-10 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge— no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.

God’s people can be assured that our Lord will provide us with protection from evil. There is literally no reason to be fearful if you belong to God in Christ Jesus. Nothing in this world, or in any world, can stand against Him (Romans 8:37-39). No evil can come near us if we’re under His protection.

The Lord will provide His angels to guard us (Psalm 91:11), at His discretion. Nothing can befall us with His knowledge. No plague, no tribulation, no struggle gets by Him without His knowledge.

Our God is mighty and able to protect us from all things. He is our strength and our shield. It’s no wonder the words “Fear not” appear so many times in His Word. If we make Him our dwelling place, we’re safe in His shadow.
